A call/complaint was received indicating the collar was "cracked under chin" before use and there "were" no injury reported. The sample has not been received. A work order number was provided and reviewed, no issues were found. The reported work order was determined to have been manufactured prior to the corrective actions. Engineering completed testing on sample product and found during the backward bend test the adult collar failed at an average displacement of 7. 14mm. Whereas in the forward bend test, the adult collar was able to reach 10mm of displacement without breaking. In conclusion, the bridge of the collars are most likely failing, when bent backwards, as was performed in the backward bend test. This information displays what will happen if the product is used incorrectly or has excessive force applied. This does not demonstrate what may happen if the product is used as intended. Based on the testing performed by the engineering department, the product will perform properly if used as intended and no excessive force is applied during application or use. Based on the testing completed and conclusion reached by all concerned departments, communication was sent outlining plans to move forward with a change to the resin in order to safeguard against possible misuse or force beyond the breaking point of the material during unusual application. This resin change was implemented on october 25, 2018. The investigation is complete at this time. We will provide a follow up report if additional information becomes available.
